| - Visited here on Thursday evening (3/20) around 6:30 pm for dinner. It was not packed although there were several patrons and more walking in as we were leaving. No wait time. I noticed upstairs they had a conference room enclosed with glass walls - looks like it would be a nice place for a birthday party or small private engagement.
The food:
Bread - The complimentary bread basket had a mixture of parmesan bread sticks and a couple other bread variations. It came with two bean type dips and olive oil. The parmesan bread stick is so good!!! I would've hoarded it all if I weren't on a business trip. Alas, I had to pretend to be civilized and eat only two. The bread was good, nothing that stood out, but I love bread I'll eat it anyway.
Fish of the day - I ordered the fish of the day which was rainbow trout over farro. It came with some sort of creamy sauce that brought everything together perfectly. A lot of times, the grains that come with the dish are pretty simple, I felt the farro was seasoned to bring out the flavor and texture of it rather than masking it. I ate every single bit, it was so good.
Dessert - Ordered the biscotti/cookie dessert which came with one scoop of vanilla ice cream with espresso poured over the top in affogato style. It came with an assortment of cookies, none of which were too sweet. It came with two of each of Anise and almond biscotti, peanut butter cookie with chopped peanuts, some sort of dark cocoa crispy biscotti type cookie, spice cookie - like ginger molasses, pistachio cookies, and chocolate crinkle cookies. All were pretty small and probably around 1.5" in diameter. It would be a good dessert to share, but I don't share and I don't share desserts of all things. The one cookie I liked the least was the crispy dark cocoa thing, I don't know what it is. I really liked the spice cookie. The chocolate crinkle cookie was very fudgy and almost like a brownie in a cookie form.
Service was great, although a little pretentious. Restaurant nice, clean, and upscale, and food came out fast, piping out, and perfect! Price is fair for the quality. I would definitely return here!
